TWO YEAR OLD SYNDICATE

The fillies PRIMA PAGINA and FRIDGE KID have raced and are handicapped for nurseries. The colts HAPPISBURGH MAN and FIGHT KNIGHT are working hard to catch them up!

JANUARY 2014. The early days: All four 2 year olds have had a rider on their back. Some have progressed from specialised breaking tack into ordinary exercise tack and are out of the yard. Others are trotting round the yard either led by hack or on the lunge rein.

SPRING 2014. With the weather still on our side here in East Anglia we have been able to keep the horses on the go. All four 2 year olds in the syndicate have left breaking tack behind and are in conditioning cantering exercise. They are developing well physically and seem keen to shed their winter coats.

MARCH and APRIL 2014. All the partnership horses are now named. Footstepsinthesand ex Contemplate - HAPPISBURGH MAN; Sir Percy ex Great White Hope - FIGHT KNIGHT; Kheleyf ex Snow Shoes - FRIDGE KID and Showcasing ex La Gazzetta - PRIMA PAGINA. As April nears its end the horses are beginning to look a little less babyish and more like equine athletes.

SUMMER 2014: Race preparation with faster work and stalls practice takes place before the horses take to the course.
